Avalanche Activity

Beware of wet avalanches!

A moderate avalanche danger is declared in the High and Western Tatras (2nd degree ). Above 1500 m above sea level, up to 25 cm of new snow fell on Tuesday, but it is gradually melting. The new snow fell on top of old hard snow. These two layers have become well bonded over the last few days. However, warming will be a problem, which will bring the risk of wet avalanches, and rain showers will also slightly increase the risk. Spontaneous small avalanches or avalanches may also occur.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is melting due to warming. The surface is wet. At altitudes below 1300 m above sea level, snow cover is only sporadic.

Tendency

With warming slightly rising. Compiled by: Pavel Krajčí
